Funds may be transferred to purchase offices for Retirement System
SECTION 6. (A)(1) The offices of the Retirement Division of the State Budget and Control Board have relocated three times in the downtown area of Columbia during the past fifteen years, bringing about administrative hardship and creating confusion on the part of the two hundred thousand members and retirees of the various state retirement systems.
(2) The Retirement Division is currently unable to provide adequate parking for its thousands of visitors.
(3) Many state retirement systems, after careful study, have determined it to be prudent to own administrative space acquired through the use of system funds.
(4) Leasing proposals indicate ownership is a wise option for our system to pursue.
(B) The General Assembly finds that the Retirement Division of the State Budget and Control Board needs adequate and suitable office space to fulfill its ordinary and necessary functions and that ownership of adequate and suitable office space will lend stability to the division's relationship with the members and retirees of the various state retirement systems, provide adequate parking for visitors, and, when compared to leasing, preserve the funds of the various systems.
(C) The State Treasurer may transfer an amount necessary from the funds of the various state retirement systems for use in purchasing or building adequate and suitable offices primarily for the use of the Retirement Division of the State Budget and Control Board. The purchase or construction must conform to applicable laws, regulations, and policies governing acquisitions.
Legislative intent not to authorize bonds in 1993
SECTION 7. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2-7-105 of the 1976 Code, it is the intent of the General Assembly that state capital improvement bonds may not be authorized in 1993.
Aggregate principal indebtedness increased
SECTION 8. Section 4 of Act 1377 of 1968, as last amended by an act of 1991 bearing ratification number 256, is further amended to read:
"Section 4. The aggregate principal indebtedness on account of bonds issued pursuant to this act may not exceed $1,790,539,125.10. The limitation imposed by the provisions of this section does not apply to bonds issued on behalf of the Mental Health Commission as provided in Acts 1276 and 1272 of 1970, or to bonds issued on behalf of the Commission on Mental Retardation as provided in Act 1087 of 1970 or to bonds issued on behalf of the South Carolina Fire Academy. The limitation imposed by the provisions of this section is not considered to be an obligation of the contract made between the State and holders of bonds issued pursuant to this act, and the limitation imposed by the provisions of this section may be enlarged by acts amending it or reduced by the application of the Capital Reserve Fund or by amendments of this act. Within these limitations state capital improvement bonds may be issued under the conditions prescribed by this act."
